As one reviewer puts it, “A Shakespearean tragedy comes to life in the exquisite ‘Hamnet’. Chloe Zhao’s devastating movie is a touchstone for the ages”.
With awards too numerous to mention, the movie has garnered 50 wins and 231 nominations to date.
Premise: After losing their son Hamnet to plague, Agnes and William Shakespeare grapple with grief in 16th-century England. A healer, Agnes must find strength to care for her surviving children while processing her devastating loss.
